A RARE CASE OF SPONTANEOUS RUPTURE OF THE LEFT COMMON ILIAC VEIN WHICH WAS THE LATE COMPLICATION OF CAVA FILTER INSTALLATION

Abstract

The article is dedicated to a rare case of spontaneous rupture of the pathologically altered left common iliac vein which was a late complication of the cava filter placement. To date this complication has not been described in the national medical literature. In foreign literature only 21 cases of spontaneous rupture of the iliac vein with unclear cause were registered. The article presents a case observed in the practice of the Bureau of forensic medical examination of the Moscow region. It was found that on he background of a number of conditions (occlusion of the inferior vena cava; pathological changes in the venous wall, taking into account its anatomical location; immobilized state of the patient; lack of adequate anticoagulant therapy; predisposing factors in the form of muscle tension) spontaneous rupture of the left common iliac vein should be considered as one of the late cava filter placement complications.Conclusion. Thus, the authors of the article have established the causes of spontaneous rupture of the iliac vein, as well as proposed the inclusion of this pathology in the official list of the late cava filter placement complications.
